Mt. Fitzherbert

Aerial views taken on 2005-Oct-04

Potential ash hazards: Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that any ash clouds that rise above the crater rim today would drift eastward early and shift to an east-southeastward trajectory later in the day.

Recent observations: Clear conditions this morning reveal the volcano sporting a moderate steam plume that rises above the rim. Moderate sized earthquakes continue to punctuate the background level of small drumbeat earthquakes several times per day, but this is par for the course at present. There has been no significant change in the level of activity at the mountain over the past few days.
